The main reason I didn’t go straight back to the dealer is because I was furious and didn’t even know if the right people to talk to would be at the dealership. Wanted to go in with a clearer head. That way I don’t come off as a crazy person. I’ve got a tendency to get a very hot head and that...

If the dealership handles the situation appropriately, then I will let them keep everything internal and not post the video anywhere. I like to give 2nd chances. If they do not handle things appropriately, then I will go from there.

That has got to be the dumbest law precedent that I’ve ever read! I would hope Texas doesn’t have a similar law in place.

The only piece that was hand cut was the hood. Everything else was cut on a machine, but it was supposed to be oversized enough to roll as many edges as possible. I told him I wanted everything rolled. He did charge me 1k less than what we talked about. So I guess I know why.

I think that's gonna be my plan. Might make the trek over to the shop @Tall Steve used since I know they will do a good job

All he was supposed to do was pull it out of the body shop and into a parking spot after he was done. Instead, he drove it out of the shop garage and immediately started asking how to "turn on launch control". He did one attempt in their parking lot and then gave up because he couldn't figure it...

That's what I was afraid would be the response.

I will definitely be doing that from now on! I just never would've thought that they would be dumb enough to even mention the words "how do I turn on launch control"! The car even has a quick message when its started up that says the PDR is recording. But I guess he didn't notice.

Can anyone else who has seen a quality PPF job comment on if these defects are to be expected? There are several areas that he will definitely have to correct, like under the front canards, but are the edges that are slightly raised something that is normal or even correctable?

That's my biggest worry. What happens when the next guy actually figures out how to use launch control in the car?!

My anger right now is one of the reasons I'm not at the dealership already. I want a cool head when I go in for the conversation. I've already messaged my service advisor asking if the manager will be in on Friday and told him my reason for wanting to talk to him. I want to give them the chance...

My biggest open question is what do I even ask for in order for them to keep my business? Or what can I ask for? Never been in a situation like this. If my first experience with them has someone trying to do launch control, then what happens when the next guy actually figures out how to do it...

So I just took my CT4-V Blackwing to the dealership to get a piece of carbon fiber replaced because it had some factory defects in it. I’ve got my PDR set to auto record. The tech who replaced the carbon fiber is on video trying to activate launch control for roughly 8 minutes and then revving...

I’ve always had a soft spot for a deep red with black badging and accents!

First wash of the car in the new house

I know it has carbon... I was saying that even with carbon, it is not worth a 5 that doesn't have carbon...

They cant seriously think they will sell a 4 for the price of a carbonless 5. That is ridiculous!

I have definitely been on the lookout for Blackwings, but have yet to see any others in the wild. I’m over in white settlement and around the Lockheed area a lot. I’m hoping to start going to some car shows once I get settled into my new house. Went to Pistons at the Park in Austin last weekend...

Broke the 500 mile break-in on the way back from Austin to Fort Worth. Definitely less dramatic than I was expecting 🤣
